OneThirdStop: Adobe Lightroom Presets

Are you a Nikon Adobe Lightroom user looking for a better starting point than Adobe Camera RAW provides? In that case, OneThirdStop might be the website you're looking for. OneThirdStop provides Lightroom develop presets that mimic some of the Nikon Capture NX NEF conversions. While these don't necessarily provide an exact match to Capture NX, they are a very good starting point and worth giving a try. Currently there are conversions available for the Nikon D200, D300 and D2Xs, but they hope to offer more presets for other camera manufacturers in the future. I've included a few comparison shots after the jump.
